Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live
Your hand that I held...
Will we lose it someday?
I want to protect you and that disappearing smile
The ringing voice that calls me dries out
Even if it gets erased by the wind along time
I will find you
Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize
Like a rusted person
It felt so hollow to just pile atop one another
You said you could live on your own
Just with the usual kind words
You ache to a point where I cannot reach you
Your hand that I held searched for some simple kindness
Do you remember
By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others
Drive your Life
Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize
How can I see the meaning of life?
Disappearing, you're the only . . .
So you will not break, you distance yourself from me
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Now it's by and by, even if you cannot see, there's a meaning to everything
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live
You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . your different Life?
You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . though, we cannot return
Like in times of warped memories, we can understand someday
The music faded and Ichigo turned around to look at his band members.
"Its good, not great…"he commented.
Ishida nodded.
Renji sat behind his drum set eating his potato chips.
Toshirou frowned and sat on the counter. He then hung upside down thinking.
"It needs more soul." he commented, "It sounds rough around the edges."
They all sat in silence thinking of what could have been missing. Well everybody but Renji who was scoffing down a pear tart.
"I got it!! We might need new voices," volunteered Ishida
Renji nodded and spoke with a mouth full of tart. "Maybe some hot chicks."
Toshiro rolled his eyes and Ichigo just scoffed. Ishida looked nervous as he pushed up his glasses.
"We definitely need a new sound. We're growing old in the world of music, dude." said Ichigo.
"How 'bout a country audition? Winner gets a temporary spot with us." asked Renji who finally finished the food he was eating.
Ichigo considered this and then nodded his head.
"Since when did you become smart?" he asked.
"What?! I'm always smart! I'm the smartest here," retorted Renji.
"Yeah, when pigs fly…"muttered Ichigo.
"What was that, Strawberry?!"
"You better watch your mouth, Baboon-face!"
Toshirou and Ishida watched from the sidelines as them two bickered.
--
"Please tell me again why I am here?" questioned a rather nervous Momo.
"Cause you love us!" replied an over-excited Rangiku
Momo bowed her head in defeat and then looked at the large line ahead of them. She sighed. Ever since Bleeding Soul announced that they were looking for temporary musicians to tour with their group, life has been chaos.
Momo never wanted to be famous. She just wanted enough money to support herself in the future. So that's why she worked in a bar. Momo wrote all the pieces that she played or sang.
She glanced at the rest of her group and sighed once more.
"This is gonna be a hell of a day…" she muttered.
--
"NEXT!!" yelled an extremely bored Ichigo.
The girls that were singing burst into tears as their chance of fame was quickly crushed.
"When will there be people who actually have talent?" asked Ishida
Toshirou looked down at the page with all the applicants' names on them.
"The next ones are the last ones." he told them. 'We have already seen 1,345,900 auditions."
"This gotta be good…"mumbled Renji but his eyes widened as he saw a woman with an extremely large buxom woman carrying drumsticks (A/N the ones you play the drums with, not the ice cream or chicken).
She had strawberry blond hair and three other dashing ladies who also held instruments followed her. One had short raven hair girl who was carrying an electric guitar. Another was buxom girl who had flowing orange hair. The last girl was a shy looking girl with her hair in a bun. She carried a classic guitar.
The bun-girl caught Toshirou's eye. Sure she was flat chested but she did have innocent chocolate eyes. The raven-head spoke up first.
"My name is Kuchiki Rukia. This is Matsumoto Rangiku, Orihime Inoue and Hinamori Momo."
"What will you play?" asked Ichigo
Momo spoke next.
"This song I wrote. It's called Wish."
They began to set up and as soon as they finished Rukia kicked off.
"1,2,1 2 3 4!"
How many forms of love
are there in this world?
Everybody is holding on
to different things living in this world
Family and friends and
companions with the same goal
Because of everyone
thats why I am here today
Always been important side
He learned the old unawares
It is lonely
to live only for yourself
Since I was born into this world
Everybody have to say good-bye
So I hope to bring you
countless smiles
Since watching things when I was little
New things
have already been granted
I lay in them
As time goes by
Though all eyes
are changed and broken,
Memory is intact
The stars that were found in the dark
Still glow in the mind
Because my pain
I want to tell
The billions of people I meet
Everybody have to say good-bye
That's why meekly
I want to smile a lot
In a limited time
What can be done
No matter how tragic or tough it gets
It will turn into happiness in the end
Definitely…
Everybody needs somebody's love
Love is necessary
Because being loved by things can let you smile again
Everybody wants to be happy
I pray for
your happiness as I sing
The guys stared as they finished their song. Toshirou just gaped. The song was beautiful. It was like a professional musician wrote it.
The girls stood there awkwardly before the males burst into applause.
"Your gang got the gig," yelled Ichigo "That was fablisimo!"
"Wonderful song." commented Toshirou. Momo blushed.
"We were a band before. We used to sing in a bar before Matsumoto dragged us here." commented Inoue.
"Really?" asked Ishida "And what was your band called?"
"Sweet Peach."
Renji couldn't hold himself and burst out laughing. He was rolling on the floor laughing while the others tilted their heads in amusement.
After Renji calmed down, Rukia made an objection.
"We'll accept this gig if we change the name. Bleeding Souls? Ugh!"
"Then whaddya wanna be called? Bleeding Peach?" Ichigo asked sarcastically.
Rukia smirked at him.
"How about Tofu Sharks?" suggested Orihime
Everybody rose their eyebrows.
"What about Food Flingers" asked Renji
Ishida pretended to throw up.
"What about Bleach?' Momo quietly asked.
"Like the washing powder?" asked Toshirou.
'It's a mixture of Bleeding and peach. It can also symbolise the audience being cleansed by our music." she explained.
Ichigo smiled. "Bleach it is."
"So what do you girls play?" asked Ishida trying to change the subject.
Matsumoto piped up. "I play the drums, percussion and the flute."
"I play guitar, violin, double bass and I sing lead/back up" Rukia told them.
"I play percussion and violin." Inoue grinned.
"Guitar, piano, recorder and I sing back up or lead. I also write all our music.," murmured Momo.
"What about you guys?" asked Rukia.
"I sing lead/ back up. I play guitar and sometimes cello." Ichigo said
"Bass, drums and guitar." Renji smirked.
"Keyboard and sound mixes" Ishida said as he pushed up his glasses.
"Guitar, violin and back up." said Toshirou. " I also write."
The door to the room they were in and a tall, tanned woman walked in. Her blazing purple hair was tied at the top of her head and she glanced at the girls and smiled.
"Boys, seems like you finished choosing." she smiled.
"I'm Yoruichi, their agent and manager." She told the girls
"You better be ready, cause this is gonna be a hell of time you will have when your with us." she smirked.
